The TAPCO TAP22006 Micro Muzzle Brake delivers effective recoil reduction in a compact design that won't overwhelm your rifle's profile. This precision-machined brake features a 2-port configuration that redirects muzzle gases to minimize felt recoil and muzzle rise during rapid fire sequences.
What Makes This Different
The micro-profile design measures significantly shorter than full-size compensators while maintaining effective gas redirection capabilities. Two strategically angled ports channel expanding gases at precise angles to counteract both vertical climb and rearward impulse. The compact footprint adds minimal length to the barrel while providing measurable recoil reduction that enhances follow-up shot accuracy.
Key Features
- 1/2x28 TPI threading fits standard .223/5.56 and .22 caliber barrels
- Two-port design reduces felt recoil and muzzle climb
- Micro profile adds minimal length to overall barrel dimension
- Black oxide finish resists corrosion and wear
- Precision-machined from steel for consistent performance
- Compatible with most AR-15 platform rifles and bolt-action firearms
- No crush washer required for proper timing installation
Range testing demonstrates noticeable recoil reduction compared to standard flash hiders, particularly beneficial during competition shooting where rapid target transitions demand quick sight recovery. The brake performs consistently across various ammunition weights from 55-grain to 77-grain projectiles. Weather exposure testing shows the black oxide coating maintains its protective properties through extended outdoor use.
